Someone seems to want to continue this discussion....

"We meet at a crossroads in history. No longer will the wrong roads be taken." "Now back to Gene Krupa's syncopated style." "I would say he has quite a few problems. His energy seems to go in the wrong places. When I walked in and I saw you two sitting there, I could just tell by the way you were both relating that there was no connection whatsoever. And I felt when I walked in that there was something between us. There was an impulse that we were both following. So that gave me the right to come in and talk to you. Otherwise I never would have felt that I had the right to talk to you or say anything to you. I never would have had the courage to talk to you. And with him I felt there was nothing and I could sense it. When I walked in, I knew I was right. Did you feel that way?" "June twenty-ninth. I gotta get in shape. Too much sitting has ruined my body. Too much abuse has gone on for too long. From now on there will be 50 pushups each morning, 50 pullups. There will be no more pills, no more bad food, no more destroyers of my body. From now on will be total organization. Every muscle must be tight. "

I didn't use my real name BEFORE I got a cyber-stalker. I'm definitely not using it now. I'm a big believer in not using personally-identifying information (full name, phone#, address, and so on) on the internet. If someone is going to be a criminal, I think they should have to WORK for it if they want to steal my identity. And imagine their disappointment if they wasted all that time to get mine....

I'm operating under the assumption that you mean to ask "Is it Biblically correct to call someone your 'father in The Word'?" and am answering accordingly. ================ Matthew 23:1-11. (KJV) 1Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples, 2Saying The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat: 3All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not. 4For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers. 5But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments, 6And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues, 7And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi. 8But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren. 9And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven. 10Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ. 11But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant. ================== Matthew 23:1-11 (NASB) 1Then Jesus spoke to the crowds and to His disciples, 2saying: "The scribes and the Pharisees have seated themselves in the chair of Moses; 3therefore all that they tell you, do and observe, but do not do according to their deeds; for they say things and do not do them. 4"They tie up heavy burdens and lay them on men's shoulders, but they themselves are unwilling to move them with so much as a finger. 5"But they do all their deeds to be noticed by men; for they broaden their phylacteries and lengthen the tassels of their garments. 6"They love the place of honor at banquets and the chief seats in the synagogues, 7and respectful greetings in the market places, and being called Rabbi by men. 8"But do not be called Rabbi; for One is your Teacher, and you are all brothers. 9"Do not call anyone on earth your father; for One is your Father, He who is in heaven. 10"Do not be called leaders; for One is your Leader, that is, Christ. ============== According to Jesus. it is WRONG to give titles from one Christian to another. Jesus specifies the following titles as wrong: Master (leader) father rabbi (and thus, teacher) So, "father" is wrong, and so it "Teacher", especially "THE Teacher", because JESUS is THE Teacher, and anyone else robs him of his title. Calling another "father" robs God of HIS proper title.

"We meet at a crossroads in history. No longer will the wrong roads be taken." "Now back to Gene Krupa's syncopated style."

Rings a bell, but I'm not calling up the name yet... That last line's vaguely familiar.

I can't guarantee I know the answer, but I MIGHT. Did you ever RENAME the pictures? If not, then the camera assigned "names" that were numerical, based on when you took them. Thus, they sort based on the "names". If you rename/renumber them in the order you want, then select the folder they're in and select to view them as a photo gallery or filmstrip or whatever, they should display in the order you selected. I think.

"Night of the Living Dead"?

If it's "Who Put the 'Bop' in my "Wop-Bop-a-Loo-Bop'", then I cede it to Bullwinkle, but wanted to post what I think is the correct title just so we can say we posted it.

"The Legend of Billy Jean"?

I've pointed out before that vpw was fond of saying things like "the suggestion of a general is tantamount to a command" and to claim his way corps was modelled after the Marine Corps in some way and meant to be a spiritual version of it. However, vpw never spent any time in the military, not the Reserves, nor the National Guard, not even ROTC. vpw's impressions of what goes on in the military seem to have been based more on movies, television, and his own preconceived notions than on any actual DATA like seeing how they work. His version of the military seemed strong on ceremony, but light on teaching skills to people that enable them to work alone or be in charge without being overseen. In fact, problem-solving and independent thought seemed to be far behind, while blind loyalty took the forefront.

Correct- "Suspicions." Dr Reyga was the Ferengi scientist who invented the metaphasic shield. Dr Jo'Brill was the alien who faked his own death. (It's easier to remember names if you have a set of the ST:TNG CCG. I have a card for each of those guys. :) ) "I don't want you to get involved in this." "Is that an order, doctor?" "Yes!" "Too bad you're not my boss anymore." Dr Ogawa and Beverly, after Beverly was relieved of duty for violating a direct order. "I think I've got a case of tennis elbow." Opening scene for the episode. Guinan went to Beverly for treatment, claiming she played Geordi. She then got Beverly to talk about why she was being court-martialed, which began the episode in flashback form. "I did a little research... this is the latest design... state of the art... and it's specially cushioned to absorb vibration -- so you'll never have to worry about tennis elbow again." "Thank you, Doctor... it looks like a great racquet. But you see... I don't play tennis. Never have." Beverly and Guinan at the end. Beverly wanted to thank Guinan, but Guinan never played tennis! "His methodology was completely unorthodox." "That's my favorite kind." "I thought... if I could bring scientists from various cultures aboard the Enterprise... sit them down... help them understand the value of his ideas... well, it seemed like the right thing to do." Beverly, at the beginning, describing Dr Reyga, and how she brought the scientists to listen to him.

"I don't want you to get involved in this." "Is that an order, doctor?" "Yes!" "Too bad you're not my boss anymore." "I think I've got a case of tennis elbow." "I did a little research... this is the latest design... state of the art... and it's specially cushioned to absorb vibration -- so you'll never have to worry about tennis elbow again." "Thank you, Doctor... it looks like a great racquet. But you see... I don't play tennis. Never have." "His methodology was completely unorthodox." "That's my favorite kind." "I thought... if I could bring scientists from various cultures aboard the Enterprise... sit them down... help them understand the value of his ideas... well, it seemed like the right thing to do."

Yes, thanks for the term. And vpw's version of the story ended with the man randomly selecting a third verse. This one read (John 13:27) "That thou doest, do quickly."

"I don't want you to get involved in this." "Is that an order, doctor?" "Yes!" "Too bad you're not my boss anymore." "I think I've got a case of tennis elbow."

Was this "the Facts of Life"?

Well, now I'm almost restating the quotes, but this is the one where Bashir is injured, and his mind-in a coma- represents his physical state with the station, and the parts of his personality are represented by the cast. And Bashir's getting visibly older as the damage progresses. Oddly enough, we go to one commercial break with him breaking his hip, but he gets around just fine AFTER the commercial break. Oh, and they had to find the alien who represented the damage.

Well, I can document that book, chapter and verse. The verses that directly address what you're talking about: Revelation 20:11-15 (KJV) 11And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. 12And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. 13And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. 14And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. 15And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. ============== Revelation 20:11-15 (NASB) 11Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat upon it, from whose presence earth and heaven fled away, and no place was found for them. 12And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and books were opened; and another book was opened, which is the book of life; and the dead were judged from the things which were written in the books, according to their deeds. 13And the sea gave up the dead which were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead which were in them; and they were judged, every one of them according to their deeds. 14Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire This is the second death, the lake of fire. 15And if anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire. ================================== So, anyone not judged BEFORE the Great White Throne Judgement (plenty were judged over 1000 years before it) is judged according to their deeds. ("It's said twice because it's established." ) Those whose deeds don't make the grade get the "second death"- the lake of fire.

"And Justice For All". Some synopses: "When a judge is charged with rape, Arthur Kirkland is forced to defend him. Kirkland has had problems with the judge in the past, including one incident when the judge wrongly sentenced his client Jeff McCullaugh because of a technicality. Kirkland faces a moral and legal dilemma." "Al Pacino is Arthur Kirkland, a sharp defence lawyer with a heart, who is dealing with a witch-hunting ethics tribunal, crazy and arrogant judges, an ill grandfather, a law partner (Tambor) on the verge of a nervous breakdown, and a new relationship. He definitely did not need the crazy new case that lands on his lap in the form of his least favourite judge, Henry T. Fleming. Soon, Arthur is faced with some decisions that will challenge his beliefs and affect his future." "It tells the story of a Baltimore defense lawyer named Arthur Kirkland (played by Al Pacino). In the film, Kirkland finds himself blackmailed into defending corrupt judge Henry T. Fleming (played by John Forsythe) for a rape charge, even though the two men personally loathe each other." "This film includes a well-known scene in which Kirkland shouts at Judge Rayford. "Mr. Kirkland, you are out of order". "You're out of order! You're out of order! The whole trial is out of order! They're out of order!"

I find there's a certain fundamental DISHONESTY in how these variants are counted. For example, if 500 texts render a certain word, and 100 texts render it different in one letter, that's not counted as ONE "variation", but as ONE HUNDRED "variations!" If one takes a book that is NOT meant to be approached like a 21st century textbook, and approaches it with an approach of "mathematical exactness and scientific precision" rather than "gives light to the simple", one will eventually be disappointed.

True. I believe my usage of the word "IF" covered that, however. An implication ("if, then") relies on the first part being true AND implying the second.

Good point. If he WAS RAISED in this group-which he was- and they groomed him specifically and encouraged him and everything-making him a VIP- then there hasn't ever been a point where he's looked around and MADE A CHOICE.

"Fantasy remains a human right: we make in our measure and in our derivative mode, because we are made: and not only made, but made in the image and likeness of a Maker." He's a fantasy writer, famous for "the Hobbit" and "Lord of the Rings." "My advice to all who have the time or inclination to concern themselves with the international language movement would be: 'Back Esperanto loyally.'" Major criticisms of him have centered around his obsession with languages, and say his whole purpose for writng LotR was to give him an outlet for writing them. (Consider his invented language of Quenya for the elves.) "'I liked white better,' I said. "'White!' he sneered. 'It serves as a beginning. White cloth may be dyed. The white page can be overwritten; and the white light can be broken.' "'In which case it is no longer white,' said I. 'And he that breaks a thing to find out what it is has left the path of wisdom.'" GREAT exchange from "Fellowship of the Ring." Gandalf the Grey recounts what happened when he went to consult with Saruman the White, and found out Saruman had turned, and now claimed he was "Saruman of Many Colors." "I am the lucky number." A notable line from "the Hobbit." Bilbo Baggins was added to a company of 12 dwarves plus one Gandalf, because they felt it was an ill omen to travel as a group of 13- so they added a 14th member. Bilbo later says this when Smaug asks him who he is- NOW remembering not to just give away his name. "If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world." Gandalf, in "the Hobbit", about hobbits in general. “… ‘Every worm has his weak spot’, as my father used to say, though I am sure it was not from personal experience.” Bilbo, in "the Hobbit", considering Smaug. "The praise of the praiseworthy is above all rewards." Faramir to Frodo, on "the Two Towers." "One felt as if there was an enormous well behind them, filled up with ages of memory and long, slow, steady thinking; but their surface was sparkling with the present: like sun shimmering on the outer leaves of a vast tree, or the ripples of a very deep lake." "The Two Towers", the description of Treebeard, upon looking into his eyes. "I have waited on faltering feet long enough. Since they falter no longer, it seems, may I not now spend my life as I will?" Eowyn, in "Return of the King". "Let us remember that a traitor may betray himself and do good that he does not intend. It can be so sometimes." Gandalf in "the Two Towers", after Grima tries to injure Gandalf by throwing a Palantir at him from Orthanc. "Hinder me? Thou fool. No living man may hinder me!" The Witch-King of Angmar, the Captain of the Nazgul (Ringwraiths), boasting of his supposed invincibility.... "Tall as the sea-kings of old, he stood above all that were near: ancient of days he seemed and yet in the flower of manhood; and wisdom sat upon his brow, and strength and healing were in his hands, and a light was about him." Aragorn, in "Return of the King", now dressed the part. "The hands of the king are the hands of a healer", which made the "healing" reference specific to him. "Indeed you did your best...I hope that it may be long before you find yourself in such a tight corner again between two such terrible old men." Gandalf to Pippin in "Return of the King", after they met with Denethor, the Steward of Gondor, in Minas Tirith.

Correct- "the Bar Association!" "What you were trying to do was make yourself feel important. Making me feel dumb made you feel smart. But I'm not dumb and you're not half as smart as you think you are!" Rom finally begins to move out from behind Quark's shadow in this episode-beginning with forming the union. "Why do you get to be the High King?" "I'm a direct descendant of King Brian Boru. Besides... it's my program." "Isn't this your tooth sharpener?" "This p'tak just robbed my quarters!" "I want to know why such a security breach was allowed to occur in the first place." "Unfortunately, these things happen." "They did not happen on the Enterprise." "Really. Let's see. Stardate 46235.7, Ferengi privateers led by Daimon Lurin boarded and seized control of the Enterprise using two salvaged Klingon birds of prey. Stardate 45349.1 Berlinghoff Rasmussen, a petty criminal impersonating a scientist, committed numerous acts of theft against the crew of the Enterprise. Shall I continue?" "You mean to tell me that you've been walking around with a seeping infection of the tympanic membrane for two weeks?" "More like three, actually." "Rom, you could have died. Another forty-eight hours and you'd've been bidding for a new life in the Divine Treasury." "I guess it's a good thing I fainted when I did." "Why didn't you come to see me sooner?" "I couldn't. I was busy." "I'm sure your brother could've spared you for half an hour." This is what led to forming the union. Rom got so sick he passed out at work- since he was unable to get "sick tine" or a chance to visit a doctor.
